Student Reports: Admin User Guide

Student Reports: Admin User Guide

Changing report format can be daunting for admin users, navigating high expectations from parents, senior leaders and teachers to implement seamless change.

We've created this step by step guide to guide admin users from settings through to publishing, answering all of the common questions that pop up in between.

Before you start, have you seen a finished student report? Check out the PDF version of a student report attached at the bottom of the article.

Step 1: Create your templates


Watch the video below to find out how to customise templates and follow the steps in: 'Student Report: Create your templates (Admin user)'


Step 2: Create Reports

Now that you've created your templates for termly/ end of year reports you can create reports for classes.  This is an Admin function only and if you'd like teachers to be able to do this you'll need to use the Enhanced User Permissions to change their permissions to 'Create / Delete'.  Read the guide Create Reports.

Step 3: Circulate the teacher guide to teacher users

Now that you have created templates for Primary, teachers will be able to create reports.

Share the Student Reports: Teacher user guide with your teacher users.  This 7 step guide provides all of the steps for teachers to create new reports, edit draft reports, send reports to sign off, publish reports and share reports with parents.

Step 4: Publish reports


After teachers have created student reports and sign off users have marked reports 'ready to publish', it's time to publish reports.

Read, 'Student Reports: Publish reports' to find out how to publish reports for individuals, classes and year groups.

Step 5: Encourage student report CPD opportunities


To guarantee a smooth implementation of the reports system, why not book your team a bespoke Zoom training session with a member of the Learning Ladders team for just £350.
